I feel like this review is going to be virtually identical to what I’ve already written for the first three volumes in the series. So let’s just break it down to its component parts: 1. Daniel Abraham has done a fantastic job as an adapter of this series. Everything is clear and exciting and he gets all the most important bits in. 2. Tommy Patterson is a competent artist but I absolutely do not like his style. 3. I hate the way all the faces […]
If Dead Zombie Presidents Don’t Tickle Your Fancy Then You Might be Dead Inside
I don’t even know where to begin with this book. It’s got zombie presidents, people. Zombie Taft, Zombie Washington, Zombie Roosevelts, you get the picture. There’s also the ghost of Ben Franklin, being a creepy perv ghost that we all knew he’d be too. Also, chimichangas! So due to the poor PR of Captain America decapitating a dead zombie president, SHIELD has to call in some less than stellar hero to take care of the walking dead presidents. Enter Deadpool, the merc with a mouth, […]
Cheeky shape-changing sociopathic sidekick and roguish one-armed villain will worm their way into your heart.
I don’t like to brag*, but due to random happenstance, I actually followed Nimona in its original run as a web comic from the very first entry. I somehow started following Noelle Stevenson on Tumblr (probably because of her Broship of the Ring fanart) and then she started Nimona, and I was hooked. *Lies. For a year and a half, two days a week I received the new Nimona pages in my outdated Microsoft Outlook work email inbox. Best two days of the week. It […]
A Dark Knight returns.
I’m at best a tourist of Marvel and DC Comics–and by that, I mean my general exposure happens through whatever mainstream movie or TV series is occurring at the moment. Sorry guys, I’m not really a nerd. 🙁 I watched the Tim Burton Batman film and then gave up on the horrific Batman and Robin (nipples on the Batsuit? really?). But I re-entered the Batman world when Christopher Nolan came out with his Dark Knight trilogy, which I enjoyed immensely. I’ve been meaning to read […]
Wrung out like a dish towel, I tell you.
Holy shitballs. I haven’t felt this wrung out by a graphic novel since I read Blankets, and I liked this one soooo much more. I’m not sure The Sculptor is going to be for everyone, but oh man, if it hits you, it’s going to straight up MURDER YOU. The main character is David, a frustrated sculptor. It’s more complicated and lovely than this, but essentially he makes a deal with Death. He will trade his life for the ability to create the art he can see in […]
Blood, Blood, Everywhere, Nor Any Drop To…
Ody-C #4 is gross. Red and purple and brown carnage spills across its pages. It may be strange to call such gore beautiful, but there are many strangely beautiful things about this comic. As graphic as it is, particularly in the first few pages, it doesn’t feel like it’s played for shock value. I mean, the gore portrayed is about as disgusting as I imagine the lair of a carnivorous cyclops would be. Not that it’s something I imagine often. In this installment we return […]
